Hold on to your seats, John Wick fans, because the saga of the legendary assassin is far from over!
In an exciting announcement that has sent shockwaves through the action film community, it has been confirmed that Keanu Reeves will be reprising his iconic role as John Wick in the highly anticipated John Wick 5.
So here is what you need to know.
John Wick lives on
John Wick: Chapter 4 was supposed to be the end of Keanu Reeves’ time as the titular character John Wick, but as we just learned in May 2023, it doesn’t appear that Reeves is going out like that.
While there were rumors and rumblings about John Wick 5 even before the release of John Wick: Chapter 4 earlier this year, it wasn’t confirmed until now.
What has been said?
Joe Drake, the Lionsgate chairman, revealed during Lionsgate’s latest earnings call that there are three John Wick properties currently in development, including John Wick 5, Ballerina, and The Continental. This revelation gives hope to fans who were eagerly awaiting confirmation of more John Wick adventures.
Release Date
As of May 2023, the release date for John Wick 5 has not been announced. With the movie confirmed to be in development, fans may have to wait a while longer for concrete details about the next installment in the action-packed franchise.
Based on the release patterns of the previous John Wick films, which were released within two to three years of each other, it is reasonable to expect John Wick 5 to hit theaters in 2025 at the earliest, or possibly in 2026. While the exact release date remains unknown, fans can look forward to a regular cadence of John Wick content as Lionsgate expands the world of this beloved character.
With John Wick 5 on the horizon, fans of the intense and stylish action series can anticipate more thrilling adventures, relentless action, and Keanu Reeves reprising his role as the legendary assassin.
Stay tuned for further updates as the development of John Wick 5 progresses.
